Pattaya & Phuket with Friends

Pattaya to Phuket to Phi Phi Islands

About this trip

Late mornings, long afternoons on the water and nights out, for a group of friends. Two nights in Pattaya, three in Patong, with a yacht afternoon, a beach club day and Phi Phi.

One of our Thailand tour packages from Kerala. Flights quoted from your city.

Who this version is for

For a group of friends marking a birthday, a reunion or a send-off. Nothing starts before 10 am except the Phi Phi day. Go between November and March, when the sea is calm. Drinks on the yacht and at the beach club are for guests aged 20 and over; carry your passport. Prefer more action than sea? We swap the Phi Phi day for an ATV ride and a zipline.

Going from Kerala

Bangkok has non-stop flights from Kochi, about four hours, landing at Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang depending on the airline. Phuket and Krabi are one change away, usually in Bangkok.

The Christmas break is the best time: cool, dry and sunny on the Phuket side, with Samui drying out after its rains. In the April–May summer break it is hot, and fine for the pool and the sea. The Onam break falls in the monsoon: green and fresh, wetter on the Phuket side, with lower prices.

From our travellers

  • Rated 5 out of 5

    We recently traveled to Thailand with Ethan Holidays and had the most amazing experience! Every detail was taken care of, from airport pickups to hotel check-ins, island tours, transfers, and even local recommendations. They customized the itinerary based on our needs, and everything ran like clockwork. What really stood out was their attention to detail and how quickly they handled last-minute changes.
